Navigating PDA in America: A Framework to Support Anxious, Demand-Avoidant Autistic Children, Teens and Young Adults

I've read a handful of books on PDA (pathological demand avoidance) but I was so elated to learn that Diane Gould, the founder of PDA North America, had written her own along side the top UK expert on the subject.I think I went through a whole highlighter reading it! This book is going to change SO many lives and I have literally bought copies for all my family members for Christmas. :) Bravo Diane!!

Mother and wife to PDAers - Navigating PDA in America is the first book I've read since I became pregnant with our now 8yo twins. This book is like a much needed hug from people who understand how I've been living the last 14 years of my life. The other reviews are on point and better written than I can do at this moment. But if you are a parent and everyone is telling you the problem is all yours and is coming from home, READ THIS BOOK! You are not crazy and you're not alone!

This book is an excellent resource for families, educations and professionals. It is an easy to read and well written publication that helps individuals understand PDA.

Practical information, easy to read, and a resource that I will continue to refer back to in the future!

My grandson has been dx with this form of autism. It has been recognized and medical & education info provided in Europe since 1980s.
